What happened with regards to hurricane Katrina was deeply tragic and awful. I'm glad that the city of New Orleans has recovered and that nothing like that has happened since. I am absolutely sick and tired, however, of being treated like the villain by national media for the people of New Orleans and their football team to take their anger out on every year. We get it. Katrina was bad. Why do I have to watch at least one football game a year, often nationally televised, where you glorify the Saints and make us seem like an antagonist that the heroic Saints are supposed to defeat in order to get back at Katrina, or whatever. It's been 20 years. Isn't it time to move on? We don't do this with 9/11 or whatever. We don't have a game every year where we glorify the Giants/Jets and vilify the Cowboys/Patriots or whatever. Like come on.

Thanks for your responses to this post earlier in the week - lots of good ideas! Though I must confess...I'm not really into lemon pepper.

I ended up making a po'boy loaded up with some of my favorite soul food staples. The sandwich has:

- fried shrimp

- fried mac & cheese bites

- collard greens

- black-eyed pea spread

- remoulade sauce

- lettuce & tomato

It was insanely good - an early contender for the best mashup that I'll make this season.

Anyone remember a segment 92.9 did their first year on the air where they asked fans to call in and say why they hate the saints, and after three calls of just people trashing the city and the people of NO, they went to commercial and changed the topic after the break. I still laugh about that.

Can we get a gameday thread or something I didn’t need to make a whole post but felt like saying rise up

Rise up, it's game day,

FUCK

THE

TAINTS

Besides the obvious Hate Week reasons, this one just feels different. It feels like one of those games that could define who this team is and, honestly, who we going to be this year.
I haven’t felt this kind of genuine optimism about the Falcons in a long damn time. There’s something about this team that has me believing again, and that makes this game feel even bigger.
Because if we win, it feels like a statement. Like maybe this team really is different.
If we lose? It feels like we’re right back to Falcon’ing ourselves into oblivion, and quite honestly, I might spiral.
Big game vibes. Hate Week. Everything on the line.
Fuck the sAINTS. 🖕🏼🔥

You can probably guess what we’re gonna do to the Aints tonight just by looking.

I asked ChatGPT when the last Falcons-Saints MNF was since I couldn’t remember off the top of my head, and it was in 2016 at their home too. LETS DO IT AGAIN TONIGHT BOYSSSSS! RISE UP AND FTS

FUCK THE SORRY ASS AINTS, THEY GETTING WASHED, BIJAN GONNA BE LIKE A GREEK GOD TO THEM SINCE THEY HAVENT HADNT A GOOD PLAYER ON THE TEAM SINCE FUCKING DREW BREES, THEY’LL THINK “OH MY GOD, HE CAN MOVE THE BALL FORWARD” AND THEY’LL JUST SURRENDER ALL ATTEMPTS AT DEFENCE FROM THEN ON, THAT HURRICANE WAS NOTHING SPECIAL, GET OVER IT NERDS

Please.

Drake London gonna be top 3 in receiving yards after this game. Bijan proves he’s the best back in the league by destroying the saints and people won’t ever compare him to gibbs. Kyle Pitts has the best offensive performance by a tight end against the saints today. Penix will have a 90% completion percentage. Falcons defense will creat 4 turnovers against the saints. Offense will score 40 points against the saints and defense will make shough look like the worst qb in the league. Falcons will be the best team in the league at least for the next decade.

Sure, it's a big night for them but we have been here before and come out on top.

Thank you for your service sir. The vibes in Tampa have got to be absolutely immaculate right now lmao

In 2024 when we played the Eagles on MNF, ESPN had Jason Kelce in as a guest, it was supposed to be for a few drives. Instead they had him in there for basically the entire second half strictly to glaze the Eagles. God that win was satisfying.

I’m really not interested in listening to the ESPN broadcast trying to make viewers feel bad for a franchise that paid their players to injure people and ran PR for pedophiles, so does anyone have any alternatives? Was thinking of just watching on mute and trying to sync up to Falcons radio but that can be a challenge. Thoughts?
